Brompton Folding Bike - C Line 12 Speed 2026 M Handlebar - Matt Black

This is a Brompton C Line 12-speed folding bike in Matt Black with mid handlebars, purchased new in January 2026 and barely ridden since. The bike has been used for around ten local rides and stored indoors throughout its life, so it's in excellent condition and folds and rides perfectly. It's a British-made steel folding bike built for commuting, train travel, and anyone who needs a compact bike that doesn't take up much space at home or in the office.

The C Line model uses Brompton's signature lateral fold, which reduces the bike to a package small enough to fit under a desk or into a train luggage rack. The 16-inch wheels and steel frame keep the weight manageable for carrying up stairs or onto public transport, and the mid handlebars give a comfortable, upright riding position that works well for city cycling and visibility in traffic. The 12-speed hub gear setup handles a decent range of gradients and offers plenty of flexibility for mixed urban riding, whether you're tackling gentle hills or longer journeys between neighbourhoods.

Day to day, the bike handles the stop-start rhythm of city cycling well. The fold becomes straightforward after a few attempts, and since everything stays in place when folded, the bike is ready to go whenever you need it. The steel frame is sturdy and predictable to ride, and the side-pull caliper brakes give reliable stopping power for urban speeds.

This bike suits commuters who mix cycling with public transport, or anyone working or living in a smaller space who needs a bike that doesn't dominate the hallway or kitchen. It's the original owner's bike, and the frame number is available for verification. Collection only, with payment by bank transfer. Test rides are available with full payment held until the bike is returned.
